Nick Bradbury, FeedDemon, NetNewsWire and NewsGator Inbox to Support APML: “This means you’ll be able to share your attention data not only between our tools, but also with any service that supports APML. Our hope is that by supporting APML, more third parties will be convinced to support it.”

Thanks to Nick Harris and Nick Bradbury for looking into this. APML wasn’t on my radar, but I agree that a common format for attention data is a very good thing.

Red Sweater Blog: “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. MarsEdit will make you a more prolific blogger. I’ve seen it time and time again. I think it reduces the psychological burden of blogging.”

People sometimes ask me, “Are you happy with how it’s worked out for MarsEdit?”
